Content Type drop-down missing on editform.aspx for a list

Question

by default, editform.aspx is supposed to include a drop-down that allows the content type for a particular list item to be changed.

I am using the default form on a list and noticed that the drop-down isn't included.

Is anyone aware of a method for adding it to the form?

Content Type Change Control is used for selection of content type in form. It is rendered if the following conditions are met:

• rendering mode for form is Edit Control Mode
• SPList.ContentTypesEnabled is True. To do this in the user interface, select List Settings, and then select Advanced Settings. Under Allow management of content types, click Yes. For more details follow Site and List Content Types
• the amount of available content types for List should be more 1
